Connecticut HB05248 establishes energy efficiency standards for products and transmission planning.

Connecticut HB05248 mandates the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection to adopt and amend regulations for energy efficiency standards for products, including plumbing fixtures. These standards must promote energy or water conservation, be cost-effective for consumers, and not impose an unreasonable burden on businesses. If the federal Energy Star program is eliminated, the commissioner may endorse an equivalent third-party certification program.
